You know Shanghai doesn't really have beaches like Singapore? Think of East Coast Park or Pasir Ris Park where we can barbecue by the sea - Shanghai doesn't have them.So what to do when you are craving for self-barbecued food?
Head down to the 烤肉店!
This shop is somewhere near my house, and is reasonably cheap, I think. There are other similar places which sell the stuff at a higher price.
Here's the BBQ stove! The put in the black charcoal, mixed a little of the burning charcoal and covered it up with the torture-looking-instrument. :X
In the background you can see several silver cans. They are chilli powder, pepper and salt, for seasoning your food before/after BBQ-ing! This is a little like how the 士林鸡排 people do it! Everything is DIY!
There's a wide variety of stuff for you to choose from. From the picture, you can see we have banana, Taiwan sausage, mushrooms, prawns, sotong, cuttlefish and mutton.
We did ordered more, but I forgot to take a picture of them. The second batch included 馒头, more sotong and mutton, my 黄鱼 (which is AMAZINGLY NICE) and garlic (which is good too).The yellow thingy you see on the food is oil. Okay, it's a little oily, but who cares right? It's China and it's impossible to find healthy food at cheap prices!
Hee... BBQ-ing. Left to right: mushroom, cuttlefish, cuttlefish, mutton, sotong.
Chicken drumstick!
The Chinese very smart lor! Poke the drumstick like a tent, so that you can cook both side of the chicken evenly.
Tee Rong is tired from waiting for the food to be cooked! But I assure you that the wait is worth it!Hee... can you see the banana being roasted? ^^
And of course... what is Chinese BBQ without the Chinese Tsing Tao Beer? (Dang, I'm so going to miss my beer when I return!)
Yummy right? Guess the bill?
It's 86RMB for two of us. Pretty steep by China's standards, but we were really famished (after doing some strenuous volunteer activity from 9a.m. to 4 p.m.)! We were super full after the meal, plus, we ordered all those expensive stuff like fish and chicken drumstick lor!
That said, it's still less than 19SGD for two of us. I remember we used to pay at least $10 for a BBQ, and we didn't even have sotong, fish or cuttlefish! >.<
Drooling already? ^^
